Navy recovers 22 barrels of diesel during search patrols- Mannar

Naval personnel on foot patrol seized 22 barrels of diesel containing 210 liters each in the beach at Kasalpadu in Pesalai, Mannar, security sources said.

The diesel barrels were set to be transported to un-cleared areas in order to be handed over to the LTTE terrorists. There was a 14 horse power outboard motor engine boat that was to be used to transport the captured diesel, naval sources said.

Though the area was further searched, no other apprehensions or arrests were made, the sources added.
